Very true. It's great for those schools that have that sports culture, but not all can or will. I have never been a fan of Title IX. I think it artificially forces schools to spend money and sponsor some women's sports (just to balance scholarships with men) that will always lose money and not draw fans.
I remember when my high school in Texas started girls basketball in the mid-70's. The UIL didn't think girls had the endurance for full-court, so it was half-court style basketball. 3 girls played defense, then passed the ball off at mid-court to the other 3 girls on offense. After about 10 years it went to full court.
Lacrosse is huge in the Northeast colleges, both men's and women's. It is making it's way into Texas high schools and club sports. Just like Hockey at the junior level is big here too now.
